#GOP senators who voted to #ConvictTrump are being censured by their party. I hope the censure comes in writing, so they can frame it & hang it up in their offices, display it during their re-election campaigns! #BadgeOfCourage! TY senators for the strength of your #convictions! 
Those senators who #BrokeRank & voted #CountryOverParty will be respected by all even by #Liberals. At least we know they aren't #Nazi #Traitors so won't think #ItsTheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt if they get elected. They'll be the new face of the rational #GOP

And in the #House, those #Congressmen #BrokeRank with the #MAGANaziParty will emerge as #PartyLeaders, having earned a measure of respect from all Americans, even those who are ideologically opposed. We all know we need an opposition party we just want a rational, principled one!
🚨BREAKING: the Senate voted to CALL WITNESSES delaying a verdict in Trump’s #ImpeachmentTrial. Democrats will call @GOP Rep @HerreraBeutler as a witness and #subpoena her notes after she was told Trump sided with the mob as rioters attacked the Capitol.

🚨BREAKING: Fulton County #Georgia DA Fani Willis is probing @LindseyGrahamSC’s phone call with @GaSecofState Raffensperger as part of a CRIMINAL investigation into Trump’s alleged CRIMINAL attempt to flip the election results.

🔥During their conversation, Graham asked @GaSecofState whether he had the power to toss out all #MailInBallots in certain counties, Raffensperger told @washingtonpost. He said Graham asked him to improperly find a way to set aside legally cast ballots.
That’s a #felony.🤬

‼️Graham is sitting in judgment on Trump on a charge that cites Trump’s call to Raffensperger, while Graham HIMSELF is a person of interest in a CRIMINAL investigation of his own call to Raffensperger.
Graham must RECUSE.🤬

NEW: Trump had NO intention of calling the rioters off. Kevin McCarthy pleaded w/ him on a call on Jan 6. But Trump didn't care. He wanted it to happen. He knew the danger. And facilitated it by doing nothing.
Wow. Republicans are speaking on the record. #ImpeachmentTrial
Wow. Republicans are speaking on the record. #ImpeachmentTrial
.@JakeTapper: So during the insurrection, GOP leader calls Trump to call off the mob. And Trump says, "well, Kevin, I guess they care more about the election than you do." As terrorists attack the Capitol & kill people.
This #ImpeachmentTrial is not over.
This #ImpeachmentTrial is not over.
@jaketapper Here's the story: New details about Trump-McCarthy shouting match show Trump refused to call off the rioters. A furious McCarthy told Trump rioters were breaking into his office through the windows, and said, "Who the f--k do you think you are talking to?" cnn.com/2021/02/12/pol…

‼️Video from Parler shows Roger Stone with #Seditionist Proud Boys leaders Enrique Tarrio & Ethan Nordean (aka Rufio Panman)—who allegedly helped plan the Capitol attack—the night before the Dec 12 “Stop The Steal” rally in DC.
ARREST EVERY TRAITOR NOW.🤬

In the video, InfoWars’ Owen Shroyer is standing next to Tarrio & hands Stone the bullhorn. Stone: “We will fight to the bitter end for an honest count of the 2020 election. Never give up, never quit, never surrender, and fight for America!”

Tarrio joins Stone and Nordean. Tarrio and Stone engage in an inaudible dialogue as Shroyer continues to rouse the crowd. “We got stabbed in the back by the SCOTUS tonight. This was never their revolution. This is our revolution!”🤬

Can anyone think of any other jobs where working to get your boss assassinated not only doesn’t get you fired, but keeps you from getting arrested? And why on earth would we make the U.S. Congress the one place where this is the case?
Also; just like Trump didn’t actually have any constitutional immunity from prosecution while he was in office, these people don’t have any actually immunity from arrest, censure, expulsion, or prosecution either. Article 1, Section 6, Clause 1 is not a get out of jail free card
It shields members from being arrested on their way to a vote WHO *DIDN’T* COMMIT FELONIES, *AREN’T* BREACHING THE PEACE BY REFUSING TO HAND OVER THEIR GUNS OR WALK THROUGH METAL DETECTORS, AND WHO *DIDN’T* JUST INCITE A DEADLY TREASONOUS INSURRECTION. Those parts are important.
🚨SEDITION: Trump plotted with Jeffrey Clark—acting head of DOJ’s civil division—to oust & replace Acting AG Rosen & wield DOJ’s power to force #Georgia lawmakers to overturn its election results.
DOJ department heads then said they’d QUIT in protest.

Their resignation pact helped persuade Trump to keep AG Rosen—calculating that a furor over mass resignations at the top of DOJ would eclipse attention on his baseless accusations of voter “fraud.”
IMPEACH TRUMP AGAIN and PROSECUTE HIM CRIMINALLY for #sedition.🤬

😱Trump’s decision not to oust Rosen came only after Rosen and Clark made competing cases to Trump in a bizarre WH meeting that 2 officials compared with an episode of Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice.”
This is the definition of a #SeditiousConspiracy.

🔥Dozens of influential @GOP in DC—including former top Trump administration officials—have been quietly lobbying GOP members of Congress to impeach and #ConvictTrump.
Efforts started with the @HouseGOP, but now are focused on Minority @LeaderMcConnell.

“Mitch said to me he wants Trump gone," per 1 @HouseGOP.
The GOP whisper campaign is based on a shared belief that a successful conviction is critical for the future of the GOP, described as a “reckoning.”
The GOP had better face a “reckoning,” after Trump’s #sedition.🤬

The lobbying effort has included behind-the-scenes pressure by GOP donors—#Sedition is bad for business and political fundraising.🤷♀️
PLUS calls from former top Trump WH officials and a set of talking points **circulating among Republicans arguing FOR Trump's impeachment**.😎

Former President Trump incited a violent insurrection against our democracy. He charged up a violent mob to attack the Capitol to stop the Congress from fulfilling our Constitutional duty to count the electoral ballots that have duly elected the next President & Vice President 1/
The mob violently attacked law enforcement and smashed its way into the Capitol, calling for the hanging of the Vice President and hunting the Speaker and Members of Congress. 2/

Five Americans have died following this violent attack and more than 50 police officers were seriously injured, including 15 officers who were hospitalized – and without law enforcement’s heroism, the attack could have been even worse. 3/

Re: the claim that the senate cannot convict Trump once he is no longer President, this is incorrect. Removal is only one consequence of conviction. The other is being barred from ever holding office again. @steve_vladeck explains:
#ConvictTrump nytimes.com/2021/01/14/opi…
#ConvictTrump nytimes.com/2021/01/14/opi…
Article 1, Section 3 of the Constitution states: “Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States” This is why Trump MUST be convicted.
Convicting Trump is a necessity not only because it bars him from ever seeking public office again, but also because it denies him the benefits that previous presidents otherwise receive, including a generous annual stipend, funds for offices and a staff, and a pension.
😱From a DC police officer: “We were battling 15,000 people. It looked like a medieval battle scene.”
So many more people could have been murdered during the #TrumpInsurrection....

Trump’s #Seditionists beat officers with metal pipes and a pole with an American flag attached, and used stun guns. Officer Fanone suffered a mild heart attack and drifted in and out of consciousness.
Fanone said he heard rioters shout. “Kill him with his own gun!”🤬

The majority of Trump’s terrorists are white supremacists whose past conduct was so alarming that their names had been previously entered into the national Terrorist Screening Database.
And Trump threw gasoline on their raging fire of hate.🤬

The presence of so many watch-listed #terrorists at the Capitol *without more robust security measures to protect elected leaders, including the @VP* is another example of the intelligence failures preceding the #TrumpCoupAttempt that sent lawmakers running for their lives.🤬
